Initially it was thought it was associated with Alcoholism.However, with the development of medicine and the invention endoscopy the syndrome has been diagnosed in many patients with no history of alcohol consumption.[2]
- The tear typically occurs after multiple episodes of vomiting or retching, but it may happen after one episode.
